SUB-COMMITTEI^ ON PROMOTION BY SUBJEICT AND SCHOOIv ORGANIZATION. 

Economy in education is a reasonable demand. American universities object to the repu- 
tation of harboring many extravagant youth, and the most aristocratic institutions like to 
have it known that students not only can but do work their way through college. Some are 
waking up to see that economy in time is economy in money, and that four is not a sacred 
number of years. Work done, and not time spent, is more and more the unit of measure- 
ment. Since President William DeWitt Hyde wrote his famous article in the Outlook of 
August 2, 1902, from North Dakota University to Harvard experiments have been tried along 
the line of recognizing quality as well as quantity in working for a degree, and Columbia 
has set an example in flexibility for other universities to rival. 

Secondary education is affected by whatever starts in the colleges. This is true of small 
places as well as large. Not only has Asbury Park, N. J., for instance, introduced recogni- 
tion of quality as a principle of promotion, but on March 27, 1907, the Board of Education 
of the City of New York, in establishing the point system of promotion for twenty-five 
thousand high-school pupils, adopted an additional regulation for the stimulation of scholar- 
ship which deserves to be applied in other large cities as well. Hereafter, "for every ten 
points obtained with 80 per cent or over the student will be entitled to one additional point." 
Thus 137 periods of high-class work for a half-year may count for 150 points, the number 
required for high-school graduation in New York City. 

Promotion by points carries with it, of course, promotion by subject — a measure for 
economizing the time and the energy of both pupils and teachers, and the money of tax- 
payers, the importance of which can scarcely be overestimated. 

In A Broader Elementary Education J. P. Gordy discusses, at Chapter xx, ''The Most 
Important Problem of Pubhc School Administration." At page 225 he says: 

"I believe that President Eliot uttered a profound truth when he remarked that 'to dis- 
criminate between pupils of different capacity, to select the competent for suitable instruction, 
and to advance each pupil with appropriate rapidity, will ultimately become the most important 
functions of the public-school administrator — those functions in which he or she will be 
most serviceable to families and to the state.' " 

In commenting on this statement. Dr. Gordy says on the same page : 

"The integrity of the American college is very seriously threatened because our school 
superintendents have not yet generally recognized their obligation to promote bright pupils 
to a higher grade as soon as these are capable of doing the work of that grade." 

Great city high schools have been woefully delinquent in recognizing the right of the 
individual pupil to progress according to ability, irrespective of the rate at which other pupils 
may advance. Promotion by general average or promotion on a minimum of periods of 
unsuccessful work are the two methods, in general use in large cities, which have driven 
thousands out of school and unnecessarily impeded the advance of thousands more who 
have remained. To allow a pupil to advance in a subject beyond his powers, simply because 
he has done well in other subjects, is nearly as unpedagogical as to oblige him to repeat 
subjects in which he is proficient because he has failed in others. These have been common 
practices in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and other great cities. The time has come 
when such practices should cease. The Board of Superintendents in the City of New York 
has been sustained in its determination in this matter by the Board of Education. What 
progress is being made in other cities in removing the evils involved in the neglecting and 
repeating systems of promotion to which reference has been made? 

At page 189 of the School Review for March, 1907, is given an instance of the evil results 
of the previous method of promotion in New York City. To illustrate still further : About 
a year ago the writer examined the work of 163 boys in the middle of the high-school course, 
and found that 55 of them had been "left back" seventy-one terms of work. In few of these 
cases had the deficiency been in more than half the subjects. The needless repetition 
amounted to fully thirty terms' work, or fifteen years. 

The sub-committee on promotion by subject and school organization has been carrying 
on a careful, investigation of this subject. In October, 1906, two questionnaires were sent to 
prominent educators throughout the country. Five editions have since gone forth, and these 
questionnaires, with tabulated results of the answers received, are herewith given. 

The following results are derived from the distinctly affirmative or negative answers 
made by the 660 educators to the forty-three questions in questionnaires I and II. Six hun- 
dred and seven answered the first, and five hundred twenty-three the second set of questions. 
These educators are superintendents, principals, or teachers, college professors, normal school 
presidents or instructors, inspectors, lecturers, or supervisors. Among them are six state 
superintendents, and the minister of education at St. Petersburg. There are two hundred 
fifty-nine superintendents, two hundred thirty-nine principals, thirty-seven teachers, fifty- 
three college presidents and professors, thirty-seven normal school presidents and supervisors 
of training schools, and fifteen inspectors and lecturers. Every state and territory, except 
Nevada, is represented, and eight foreign countries, viz., Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, 
Russia, Turkey, China and Japan, have added twenty-two sets of answers. 

Omitting all indefinite answers, we find that sixty-three per cent feel there is considerable 
flexibility and variety in their schools. More promote by grades than by subjects in the 



proportion of fifty-three per cent to forty-seven per cent. Those who admit that they oblige 
a pupil who has failed in some of the work of the grade to take over again all the work of 
the grade are thirty-seven per cent; sixty-three per cent deny that they do so, many of them 
with emphasis. That they take care of the needs of individual students in some way is 
claimed by eighty-five per cent, while ninety per cent think that each student should be 
advanced as rapidly as his ability will permit without reference to his fellows. Only nine 
per cent think that the brilliant student should be kept back with the dull student. That 
extra credit should be given for superior work is claimed by seventy-six per cent, while 
sixty-three per cent state that individual programs would result in greater interest and a 
higher quality of work. The quality of a pupil's work is regarded as more important than 
the quantity by ninety-six per cent. Twenty-six per cent think an advantage given to a 
bright student would discourage or injure a dull one and thirty- four per cent think that 
under a flexible scheme a precocious student would be prepared for life too young. Only 
one in forty thinks a brilliant student should take less work than a dull one. Nearly seventy- 
nine per cent believe that the flexible plan would help to do away with the mechanical 
teacher. While seventy-six per cent state that it would be just as practicable to maintain 
the flexible individual plan in a large school where the teaching force is greater, as in a 
small school, seventy-nine per cent favor the advancement by subject plan. As nearly two 
in every five admit that they oblige pupils to repeat all work, if they fail in a part of it, we 
see that many adhere to the inflexible repeating method against their better judgment. To 
be consistent these should take up promotion by subject without delay. About twenty-six 
per cent claim they know of a better plan than promotion by subject, but they do not explain 
what it is. It is one object of these questionnaires to discover such plans, if they can be 
found.* All but three per cent would like to have this topic discussed at an early National 
Education Association meeting. An average of 241 answers makes the proportion of pupils 
that leave school as doing so because they are compelled to repeat tasks once satisfactorily 
done to be nearly nineteen per cent. From 251 answers we learn that that nearly sixty-eight 
per cent of "left back" or "left down" pupils are promoted the following term. 

Over three hundred persons avoid a direct expression of opinion of the rules for pro- 
motion of pupils in New York City adopted May 3rd, 1904, but of the two hundred ninety- 
five who do state their opinions directly, only thirty-five per cent approve these rules. Of the 
four hundred twenty-two who expressed an opinion of the new rules proposed by the board 
of superintendents seventy-one per cent approved. On March 27th, 1907, the board of educa- 
tion of New York City formally approved of the system of promotion by points, which of 
course includes promotion by subject, and so placed itself in line with the sober conimon 
sense of the country on this subject. 

All but five and a half per cent of those who answered these questionnaires are willing 
to be quoted as holding the views expressed in their answers. 

Taking up the questionnaire upon three-year courses and in like manner excluding all 
indefinite answers, we find that fifty-one per cent think Plan B, providing for five three-year 
courses, is an improvement on Plan A, in common use with its four-year courses. Nearly 
sixty-seven per cent think it worth while to save this year usually spent before professional 
study is begun. That the transitions in Plan B are easier than in Plan A is affirmed by fifty- 
two per cent, while forty-six per cent claim that the year added to the pre-high school period 
would discourage more students from finishing to that point. That this additional year 
would provide departmental study for many who do not enter high school is claimed by 
seventy-four per cent. Departmental teaching throughout the three years of the grammar 
school under Plan B, at least in large cities, is favored by seventy-two out of every hundred. 

Only twenty-five in a hundred think that the nine years from the age of six to that of 
fifteen would be too long for the period of compulsory education. Nearly fifty-two per cent 
think Plan B would prevent many from dropping out of the high school during the first 
year, and sixty-nine per cent think that, with the high school course reduced to three years, 
more students would complete it; fifty-two per cent think more students would go to college 
under Plan B. Only five per cent of the schools represented are organized on Plan B, as 
Plan A is prevalent in ninety-five per cent of the schools. 

An average of three hundred twenty-nine answers makes the proportion of students who 
go to high school forty-eight and one-tenth per cent, while, according to three hundred three 
replies, twenty-five and two-fifths per cent drop out of high school during the first year. 
The proportion who go to college, according to the average of three hundred and thirty- 
eight answers, is twenty-nine per cent. 

Forty per cent think the divisions in B would be easier to manage than those in A, and 
forty-six per cent think that under B students, in case of necessity, could discontinue their 
work at more convenient stages than under A. Nearly fifty-two per cent think the tendency 
in their community is to shorten the period of preparation for life. That students under B 
would be crowded by too much work is believed by fewer than thirty seven per cent, while 
almost fifty-two per cent believe the triennial period is better for flexible advancement by 
subject. Only fifty per cent think that the proposed shortening of the high school and college 
courses to three years each would take anything indispensable from them or cheapen them.

I am following the trend of the opinions expressed in the majority of the answers 
received when I say : 

1. That school education should not be divided into three periods of four years each 
as at present, but into two periods of six years each. The subdividing into three-year courses 
depends on local conditions. 

2. That thus secondary education should be extended downward to six years. 

3. That departmental teaching should extend throughout the six years of secondary 
education. 

4. That during the seventh and possibly eighth years, or the first and second years of 
the second six, a semi-departmental system — i.e., one in which each teacher takes two sub- 
jects instead of one — may suffice. 

5. That promotion be made by subjects throughout the six years of secondary education. 

The special attention of educators in each state is called to the opinions of their asso- 
ciates on I, 3 and 15, and II, i and 6, as expressed in the formal roll calls. The full names, 
positions, and addresses of those who have contributed to the above results are also appended. 
To give in complete form the opinions, suggestions, and objections of all would require a 
large volume. Respectfully submitted,

Sub-Committee on Promotion by Subject and School Organization. 

Economy in education is a reasonable demand. American universities object to the repu- 
tation of harboring many extravagant youth, and the most aristocratic institutions like to 
have it known that students not only can but do work their way through college. Some are 
waking up to see that economy in time is economy in money, and that four is not a sacred 
number of years. Work done, and not time spent, is more and more the unit of measure- 
ment. Since President William DeWitt Hyde wrote his famous article in the Outlook of 
August 2, 1902, from North Dakota University to Harvard experiments have been tried along 
the line of recognizing quality as well as quantity in working for a degree, and Columbia 
has set an example in flexibility for other universities to rival. 

Secondary education is afifected by whatever starts in the colleges. This is true of small 
places as well as large. Not only has Asbury Park, N. J., for instance, introduced recogni- 
tion of quality as a principle of promotion, but on March 27, 1907, the Board of Education 
of the City of New York, in establishing the point system of promotion for twenty-five 
thousand high-school pupils, adopted an additional regulation for the stimulation of scholar- 
ship which deserves to be applied in other large cities as well. Hereafter, "for every ten 
points obtained with 80 per cent or over the student will be entitled to one additional point." 
Thus 137 periods of high-class work for a half-year may count for 150 points, the number 
required for high-school graduation in New York City, 

Promotion by points carries with it, of course, promotion by subject — a measure for 
economizing the time and the energy of both pupils and teachers, and the money of tax- 
payers, the importance of which can scarcely be overestimated. 

In A Broader Elementary Education J. P. Gordy discusses, at Chapter xx, ''The Most 
Important_ Problem of Pubhc School Administration." At page 225 he says : 

"I believe that President Eliot uttered a profound truth when he remarked that 'to dis- 
criminate between pupils of different capacity, to select the competent for suitable instruction, 
and to advance each pupil with appropriate rapidity, will ultimately become the most important 
functions of the public-school administrator — those functions in which he or she will be 
most serviceable to families and to the state.' " 

In commenting on this statement. Dr. Gordy says on the same page : 

"The integrity of the American college is very seriously threatened because our school 
superintendents have not yet generally recognized their obligation to promote bright pupils 
to a higher grade as soon as these are capable of doing the work of that grade." 

Great city high schools have been woefully delinquent in recognizing the right of the 
individual pupil to progress according to ability, irrespective of the rate at which other pupils 
may advance. Promotion by general average or promotion on a minimum of periods of 
unsuccessful work are the two methods, in general use in large cities, which have driven 
thousands out of school and unnecessarily impeded the advance of thousands more who 
have remained. To allow a pupil to advance in a subject beyond his powers, simply because 
he has done well in other subjects, is nearly as unpedagogical as to oblige him to repeat 
subjects in which he is proficient because he has failed in others. These have been common 
practices in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and other great cities. The time has come 
when such practices should cease. The Board of Superintendents in the City of New York 
has been sustained in its determination in this matter by the Board of Education. What 
progress is being made in other cities in removing the evils involved in the neglecting and 
repeating systems of promotion to which reference has been made? 

At page 189 of the School Review for March, 1907, is given an instance of the evil results 
of the previous method of promotion in New York City. To illustrate still further: About 
a year ago the writer examined the work of 163 boys in the middle of the high-school course, 
and found that 55 of them had been "left back" seventy-one terms of work. In few of these 
cases had the deficiency been in more than half the subjects. The needless repetition 
amounted to fully thirty terms' work, or fifteen years. 

The sub-committee on promotion by subject and school organization has been carrying 
on a careful investigation of this subject. In October, 1906, two questionnaires were sent to 
prominent educators throughout the country. Five editions have since gone forth, and these 
questionnaires, with tabulated results of the answers received, are herewith given. 

The following results are derived from the distinctly affirmative or negative answers 
made by the 660 educators to the forty-three questions in questionnaires I and II. Six hun- 
dred and seven answered the first, and five hundred twenty-three the second set of questions. 
These educators are superintendents, principals, or teachers, college professors, normal school 
presidents or instructors, inspectors, lecturers, or supervisors. Among them are six state 
superintendents, and the minister of education at St. Petersburg. There are two hundred 
fifty-nine superintendents, two hundred thirty-nine principals, thirty-seven teachers, fifty- 
three college presidents and professors, thirty-seven normal school presidents and supervisors 
of training schools, and fifteen inspectors and lecturers. Every state and territory, except 
Nevada, is represented, and eight foreign countries, viz., Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, 
Russia, Turkey, China and Japan, have added twenty-two sets of answers. 

Omitting all indefinite answers, we find that sixty-three per cent feel there is considerable 
flexibility and variety in their schools. More promote by grades than by subjects in the 



proportion of fifty-three per cent to forty-seven per cent. Those who admit that they oblige 
a pupil who has failed in some of the work of the grade to take over again all the work of 
the grade are thirty-seven per cent; sixty-three per cent deny that they do so, many of them 
with emphasis. That they take care of the needs of individual students in some way is 
claimed by eighty-five per cent, while ninety per cent think that each student should be 
advanced as rapidly as his ability will permit without reference to his fellows. Only nine 
per cent think that the brilliant student should be kept back with the dull student. That 
extra credit should be given for superior work is claimed by seventy-six per cent, while 
sixty-three per cent state that individual programs would result in greater interest and a 
higher quality of work. The quality of a pupil's work is regarded as more important than 
the quantity by ninety-six per cent. Twenty-six per cent think an advantage given to a 
bright student would discourage or injure a dull one and thirty- four per cent think that 
under a flexible scheme a precocious student would be prepared for life too young. Only 
one in forty thinks a brilliant student should take less work than a dull one. Nearly seventy- 
nine per cent believe that the flexible plan would help to do away with the mechanical 
teacher. While seventy-six per cent state that it would be just as practicable to maintain 
the flexible individual plan in a large school where the teaching force is greater, as in a 
small school, seventy-nine per cent favor the advancement by subject plan. As nearly two 
in every five admit that they oblige pupils to repeat all work, if they fail in a part of it, we 
see that many adhere to the inflexible repeating method against their better judgment. To 
be consistent these should take up promotion by subject without delay. About twenty-six 
per cent claim they know of a better plan than promotion by subject, but they do not explain 
what it is. It is one object of these questionnaires to discover such plans, if they can be 
found.* All but three per cent would like to have this topic discussed at an early National 
Education Association meeting. An average of 241 answers makes the proportion of pupils 
that leave school as doing so because they are compelled to repeat tasks once satisfactorily 
done to be nearly nineteen per cent. From 251 answers we learn that that nearly sixty-eight 
per cent of "left back" or "left down" pupils are promoted the following term. 

Over three hundred persons avoid a direct expression of opinion of the rules for pro- 
motion of pupils in New York City adopted May 3rd, 1904, but of the two hundred ninety- 
five who do state their opinions directly, only thirty-five per cent approve these rules. Of the 
four hundred twenty-two who expressed an opinion of the new rules proposed by the board 
of superintendents seventy-one per cent approved. On March 27th, 1907, the board of educa- 
tion of New York City formally approved of the system of promotion by points, which of 
course includes promotion by subject, and so placed itself in line with the sober conimon 
sense of the country on this subject. 

All but five and a half per cent of those who answered these questionnaires are willing 
to be quoted as holding the views expressed in their answers. 

Taking up the questionnaire upon three-year courses and in like manner excluding all 
indefinite answers, we find that fifty-one per cent think Plan B, providing for five three-year 
courses, is an improvement on Plan A, in common use with its four-year courses. Nearly 
sixty-seven per cent think it worth while to save this year usually spent before professional 
study is begun. That the transitions in Plan B are easier than in Plan A is affirmed by fifty- 
two per cent, while forty-six per cent claim that the year added to the pre-high school period 
would discourage more students from finishing to that point. That this additional year 
would provide departmental study for many who do not enter high school is claimed by 
seventy-four per cent. Departmental teaching throughout the three years of the grammar 
school under Plan B, at least in large cities, is favored by seventy-two out of every hundred. 

Only twenty-five in a hundred think that the nine years from the age of six to that of 
fifteen would be too long for the period of compulsory education. Nearly fifty-two per cent 
think Plan B would prevent many from dropping out of the high school during the first 
year, and sixty-nine per cent think that, with the high school course reduced to three years, 
more students would complete it; fifty-two per cent think more students would go to college 
under Plan B. Only five per cent of the schools represented are organized on Plan B, as 
Plan A is prevalent in ninety-five per cent of the schools. 

An average of three hundred twenty-nine answers makes the proportion of students who 
go to high school forty-eight and one-tenth per cent, while, according to three hundred three 
replies, twenty-five and two-fifths per cent drop out of high school during the first year. 
The proportion who go to college, according to the average of three hundred and thirty- 
eight answers, is twenty-nine per cent. 

Forty per cent think the divisions in B would be easier to manage than those in A, and 
forty-six per cent think that under B students, in case of necessity, could discontinue their 
work at more convenient stages than under A. Nearly fifty-two per cent think the tendency 
in their community is to shorten the period of preparation for life. That students under B 
would be crowded by too much work is believed by fewer than thirty seven per cent, while 
almost fifty-two per cent believe the triennial period is better for flexible advancement by 
subject. Only fifty per cent think that the proposed shortening of the high school and college 
courses to three years each would take anything indispensable from them or cheapen them.

In your school is there much flexibility and variety ? 

Do you promote your students by subjects or by grades?.. 
Do you make a student who has failed in some of the work 

of the grade take all the work of the grade again ? 

Do your schools take care of the individual student's needs 

in any way ? 

Do you think each student should be advanced as rapidly 
as his ability will permit without reference to his fellows?. 

If not, why not ? 

Should the brilliant student be kept back with the dull 

student ? 

If so, why ? 

Should a student be given extra credit for superior work?. 

If sOj on what basis ? 

Would individual programmes result in greater interest 

and a better quality of work ? 

Do you regard the quality or the quantity of a student's 

work more important ?* 

Would an advantage given to a bright student discourage 

or injure a dull one ? 

Under a flexible scheme would a precocious student be 

prepared for life too young ? 

Should the brilliant student take more or less work than 

the dull student ?t 

Would the flexible plan help to do away with the mechani- 
cal teacher ? 

Would it be just as practicable to maintain the flexible 
individual plan in a large school, where the working force 

is greater, as in a small school ? 

Do you favor the advancement by subject plan? 

If not, what are your objections to it ? 

Do you know of a better plan ? 

If so, what is it ? 

Would you like to have this topic discussed at an early 

N. E. A. meeting ? 

What proportion of the pupils that leave your school or 
schools are recruited from those who are compelled to 

repeat tasks once satisfactorily done ?** 

What percentage of "left back" or "left down" pupils are 

promoted the following term?tt 

Do you approve the following Rules i and 2 of the New 
York City Board of Education, in force since May 3, 1904, 
the rescinding of which is now generally desired ? 

No student shall be promoted from the first term to the second or 
from the second term to the third, whose conditions aggregate ten 
(10) hours (periods) in subjects requiring preparation. 

No student shall be promoted from the third term to the fourth, 
or from the fourth term to the fifth, or from the fifth term to the 
sixth, whose conditions aggregate nine (9) hours, or if he be con- 
ditioned in three subjects requiring preparation. 

Do you approve the following rule proposed last January 
by the Board of Superintendents in New York City$. ...... 

Promotion shall be made by subjects. A student shall be consid- 
ered to have satisfactorily completed a subject prescribed in any 
term when he has attained a mark of 60 per cent and shall thereupon 
be promoted in such subject. 

If not, will you say why not ? 

Are you willing to be quoted as holding the views ex- 
pressed in your answers to above questions ?

Do you think that Plan B is an improvement on Plan A?. . . 
Do you think it worth while to save this year before pro- 
fessional study is begun ? 

Do you think the transitions in B easier than in A? 

Would the year added to the pre-high school period dis- 
courage more students from finishing to that point? ^. 

Would this additional year provide departmental study for 

many who do not enter high school ? 

Would you favor departmental teaching throughout the 
three years of the grammar school under Plan B, at least 

in large cities ? 

Would the nine years from the age of six till that of fif- 
teen be too long for the period of compulsory education?. . . 
Would Plan B prevent many from dropping out in high 

school during the first year ? 

With the high school course reduced to three years, would 

more students complete it ? 

Under Plan B do you think more students would go to 

college ? 

Which plan is prevalent in your school ? 

What proportion of your students go to high school?* 

What proportion drop out of high school during the first 

year ?t 

What proportion go to college ?$ 

Do you think the divisions in B would be easier to manage 

than those in A ? 

Under B could students in case of necessity discontinue 

their work at more convenient stages than under A? 

Is the tendency in your community to shorten the period of 

preparation for life ? 

Would students under B be crowded by too much work?. . . 
Would the triennial period system be better for flexible 

advancement by subject ? 

Do you think the proposed shortening of the high school 
and college courses to three years each would take anything 

indispensable from them, or cheapen them? 

What objections have you to Plan B ?

* Average of 329 answers, 48.1 per cent. f Average of 303 answers, 25.4 per cent. 

t Average of 338 answers, 29 per cent. 

I am following the trend of the opinions expressed in the majority of the answers 
received when I say : 

1. That school education should not be divided into three periods of four years each 
as at present, but into two periods of six years each. The subdividing into three-year courses 
depends on local conditions. 

2. That thus secondary education should be extended downward to six years. 

3. That departmental teaching should extend throughout the six years of secondary 
education, 

4. That during the seventh and possibly eighth years, or the first and second years of 
the second six, a semi-departmental system — i.e., one in which each teacher takes two sub- 
jects instead of one — may suffice. 

5. That promotion be made by subjects throughout the six years of secondary education. 

The special attention of educators in each state is called to the opinions of their asso- 
ciates on I, 3 and 15, and II, i and 6, as expressed in the formal roll calls. The full names, 
positions, and addresses of those who have contributed to the above results are also appended. 
To give in complete form the opinions, suggestions, and objections of all would require a 
large volume. Respectfully submitted, 

Chari.es S. HartwELI., Chairman.
